Spotlight in Paintstop question ...

Well, i was fixing the Paintstop bug and I had Lightbox open at start up when I went into Paintstop. Whle I was in Paintstop i tested it out and double clicked on a texture and opened Spotlight. But it doesn’t do anything other than drop the picture into the canvas. I can’t really do anything untill I hit shift + Z. So basically… Is spotlightlight supposed to work within Paintstop too?

You won’t be able to paint so that a Spotlight image is transferred to the PaintStop canvas. The reason is that this only works when there is a polymesh in Edit mode and PaintStop doesn’t use polymeshes.

What you can do is use Spotlight to place reference images, or use a transparent image to trace from.

If you load an image through the PaintStop Tracing menu you can use the Blend>Clone brush to clone the image to the canvas. You need to set the Brush Adjust slider to 100 and Ctrl+click to select the point to clone from.

HTH,

Awesome, thanks!
